What the Washer Fluid Level Light Means

The washer fluid light on a your car simply means the windscreen washer reservoir is low. It is purely informational — top up the fluid and it clears.

  • Debris around the float

How to Fix It

  1. Top up the washer reservoir with screen wash
  2. Run the washers to confirm operation
  3. If still lit, inspect the level sensor and connector
  4. Clean debris from around the float
  5. Replace the sensor if it reads incorrectly
